Explanation:

the perimeter of a rectangle : it is the distance when going around the whole rectangle once.

so, it is

2×length + 2×width

300 = 2×length + 2×57 = 2×length + 114

2×length = 300 - 114 = 186

length = 186/2 = 93 yards

P=2L+2W


300=2L+2 \cdot 57


300=2L+114


2L=300 - 114


2L=186


L=(186)/(2) = 93

proof:


300=2\cdot 57+2 \cdot 93


300 = 114 + 186


300 = 300

I Hope I helped you!
